Trattoria alla Nuova Speranza, can be found by walking to the Arsenale area of Venice Island. We had almost give up finding anywhere to eat in the area we had ventured off the main drag, boulevard Garibaldi which was once a canal but has now been covered over to make the widest street on Venice Island.
One of my favourite dishes is spaghetti opa, which is plain cooked spaghetti tossed in oil, garlic, chillies and parsley. This dish which I have eaten at a restaurant called Tre Spiedi many times, which I am sad to say has in the last year changed hands. I had yet to find it on another menu, so when we found the Trattoria and it was on the menu I thought great.
The trattoria is small and a little dark on the inside, had a warm welcome and a few locals eating or waiting to eat, always a good selling point.
The menu was varied but ...
Advantages: Well-maintained, cheaper than central Venice, goos bus links, comfortable, spacious Disadvantages: Variable service, not a very picturesque location
I've just come back from a three night stay in this hotel, which is situatued in Mestre - a sort of suburb near Venice. Having never been to Venice, I really wanted to visit, but travelling with four meant hotel rooms are not cheap and hotel rooms in Venice are especially not cheap. So this hotel provided an excellent solution - a few kilometres outside Venice itself makes all the difference to affordability, and clearly Mestre is working on this principle as there are a lot of hotels there.
ROOM
This one, the Ambasciatori, is four star, and we stayed in what they call a suite. First point - it's not! It is a nice large executive double with a queen sized bed and a walk in wardrobe but it does not have a separate sitting room, so in my book it is not a suite. It has a sitting area in the room separated from the bed by a lattice ...
Advantages: Cheap and cheerful Disadvantages: A short bus ride from Venice proper
We booked a trip to Venice on a whim and a bit of a last minute whim at that. There were three of us travelling which is not necessarily the best number for accommodation, we were on a budget, and we were going in July, peak tourist season. In other words, we had to take what we could get. Venice has a huge number of accommodations but they do get booked up quickly and those that are left, one supposes, must either be hideously expensive or have something wrong with them. For this reason, we ended up at the Delfino which looked like a very reasonably 3* place that didn?t cost the earth.
The hotel is in Mestre which is a suburb just across the water from Venice, and as such is served by taxis and buses as well as a train station (there are no cars or other road-requiring vehicles on the main island because there are no roads ...
